Loads of cafés and restaurants are fully aware of Nutella’s enduring power, so it makes sense that they’ve all added weird and wonderful Nutella-themed dishes to their menu.
But there’s never been a permanent (there have been popups, but that’s not the same), standalone, official Nutella café run by Ferrero themselves.
The world’s first official Nutella café opened in Chicago this week. The café is designed to make you feel like you’re ‘walking into a jar of Nutella’, which sounds like a chocolatey dream, and its menu, naturally, has all kinds of Nutella-based delights.
Think crepes, gelato, oatmeal, croissants, waffles, pancakes, fruit fondue, cake, panacotta. Weirdly, there are many menu items that don’t include Nutella, such as soups and paninis, but we honestly don’t see why anyone would bother with those when they could order Nutella with ‘assorted shortbread cookies’.
The café opened inside Chicago’s Millennium Park Plaza, and offered surprise treats for the first 400 people in line to eat.
